Carlisle's Mencap team will go down to Lodnon next month as they comet against other teams of young people for a a national award.

The group were put forward for the award by the High Sheriff Juilet Westoll for their DVD 'Keeping Safe' which was produced by young people with learning disabilities for young people.

'Even if they don't win they do have the knowledge that they have produced something really useful which will make a difference to people's lives of the most vulnerable in our society.'

– High Sheriff, Juilet Westoll

'This is an award that has nothing to do with learning disabilities. It is an award for young people who have done something for society. So there they are with their peers at a top award ceremony so it is really exciting.'
